How do i remove the vertical space between paragraph and the list.

To be more specific - how do I reduce the bottom margin/padding of the p tag ONLY when followed by an unordered list. All the answers I see here remove the space after all p tags - that's not what was asked.

You can use CSS selectors in a way similar to the following:

p + ul {
    margin-top: -10px;
}

This could be helpful because p + ul means select any <ul> element after a <p> element.

You'll have to adapt this to how much padding or margin you have on your <p> tags generally.

Original answer to original question:

p, ul {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

That will take any EXTRA white space away.

p, ul {
    display: inline;
}

That will make all the elements inline instead of blocks. (So, for instance, the <p> won't cause a line break before and after it.)

One way is using the immediate selector and negative margin. This rule will select a list right after a paragraph, so it's just setting a negative margin-top.

p + ul {  
   margin-top: -XX;
}

This simple way worked fine for me:

<ul style="margin-top:-30px;">

I got pretty good results with my HTML mailing list by using the following:

p { margin-bottom: 0; }
ul { margin-top: 0; }

This does not reset all margin values but only those that create such a gap before ordered list, and still doesn't assume anything about default margin values.

p, ul{
     padding:0; 
     margin:0;
}

If that's not what your looking for you'll have to be more specific

You can (A) change the markup to not use paragraphs

<span>Text</span>
<br>
<ul>
  <li>One</li>
</ul>
<span>Text 2</span>

Or (B) change the css

p{margin:0px;}

Every browser has some default styles that apply to a number of HTML elements, likes p and ul. The space you mention is likely created because of the default margin and padding of your browser. You can reset these though:

p { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

You could also reset all default margins and paddings:

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

I suggest you take a look at normalize.css: http://necolas.github.com/normalize.css/

I ended up using a definition list with an unordered list inside it. It solves the issue of the unwanted space above the list without needing to change every paragraph tag.
